Famous/Highly Visible Queers

Medusa · 04-09-2010, 09:30 PM

Dorothy Allison - Author, Femme, fellow redhead, and amazing mentor.

Dorothy has written numerous books but is probably most famous for "Bastard Out of Carolina". If you havent read it, I demand you get yourself to the nearest library and get it now. It is simply amazing.

I'll post my pic with Dorothy from the last Femme Conference if I can find it.

Amber Hollibaugh - author of "My Dangerous Desires: A Queer Girl Dreaming her Way Home"

Another MUST read.

Amber is a fierce, kick-ass Femme activist and has the most amazing energy.

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha - FIERCE as fuck Femme Shark, author of Consensual Genocide.

Medusa · 04-09-2010, 09:37 PM

Jewelle Gomez - Another FIERCE Femme author. Jewelle wrote one of my favorite books of poetry, "43 Septembers".

And here she is with what she calls her "Happy Medusa" rolls

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.

I love you more than my own skin.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

A woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.

Courage to be is the key to revelatory power of the feminist revolution.

Why indeed must 'God' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all.

We will look upon the earth and her sister planets as being with us, not for us. One does not rape a sister.

Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.

Phranc! Singer, Artist, Tupperware peddler!

LOL. i had almost completely forgotten about Phranc, though i had one of her records (Folksinger) back in the day, when i went to a show in Detroit to see The Knitters and she was opening for them. She still has the flat top. She still looks good. i gather she took up the tupperware gig to contribute to family income though she apparently loves the stuff.
